Motorcycles and bicycles go hand in hand for many riders. Keen to leverage its existing powersport audience and grow into other fun-filled outdoor segments, Yamaha Bicycles has updated its dual sport–like pedal-assist bicycle entry with its 2022 Wabash RT gravel bike ($4,099). The kickstand-equipped CrossCore RC urban all-arounder ($3,099) also receives some improvements. Both cycles are categorized as Class 3 electric bikes limited to 28 mph with pedal assist.<br /><br />The Wabash RT is designed for pedal bikers who want a road-style bicycle they can ride on road as well as off. Enter the 700c-wheel-equipped Wabash RT, powered by Yamaha’s proprietary PW generation electric motor. Although Yamaha Bicycles is new in the pedal-assist bicycle game here in the United States, the brand has been manufacturing these propulsion systems since the early ’90s.<br /><br />The Wabash RT is notable because it allows riders to experience the thrills and excitement of cycling in a remarkably easy-to-use package. Its 500-watt battery is built into the lower frame tube and charges via a household-style three-prong 120-volt power adapter, taking four hours to top off completely. Once charged to max, this pedal-assist bicycle offers a range of up to 100 miles in its lowest Eco power setting...<br /><br />Check out the story at https://www.motorcyclistonline.com/story/reviews/yamaha-crosscore-rc-and-wabash-rt-review-2022/<br /><br />Photography: Joseph Agustin<br />Video: Ray Gauger Media, Inc.<br /><br />Pedal-Assist Cycling Gear Worn<br /><br />Helmet: Bell Bicycling<br />Jersey: Alpinestars Freeride<br />Gloves: Alpinestars Ridge Plus Short Finger<br />Under Short: Alpinestars Tech Shorts<br />Short: Alpinestars X-Country<br />Socks: Alpinestars Summer Socks<br /><br />Motorcyclist Shirts: https://teespring.com/stores/motorcyclist<br />Shop Products We Use: https://www.amazon.com/shop/motorcyclistmagazine <br /><br />See more from us: http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/
